Another takeaway after three years of building a company is that the returns to just "being a good person", and not acting transactionally, are higher than I expected.

There are so many transactional, boring, and at times immoral people in the tech industry that if you act with sustained warmth, authenticity, humor, and integrity, great gifts will be laid before you. White pill.

Today, we’re excited to share Stuut has raised a $52.5M Series B led by Insight Partners, bringing our total amount raised to $93M.

I told the guy at my local bodega, and he couldn’t care less about our cash. Frankly, that’s fair. Our job is to care about yours.

The 1000s of juggernaut companies that run America are rebuilding around AI, and they're doing it with finance teams that are already swamped. Every enterprise we've spoken to says the same thing: they know AI can help, but they don't have the time or team to make it happen.

Stuut is the first AI coworker that does all of the work between order and cash for the world's leading enterprises. It's grinding, repetitive work.

We’ve already moved over $3B for enterprises including ZoomInfo, Honeywell and PerkinElmer, with Stuut unlocking 40% more cash flow for our customers.

This round is how we keep up with overwhelming demand, and how we go after the bigger job: carrying every transaction from the moment a company decides to sell something until the cash is in the bank. Our customers know we’re in this for the long haul.

Our investors do too, and special thanks to Julian Marcu / Thomas Krane at @InsightPartners for believing in our vision. We're extremely grateful to @a16z, @ActivantCapital, and @M12vc Microsoft's Venture Fund, as well for joining.

Thanks to the @StuutAI team for their dedication.

Thanks to our customers for trusting us.

And to the guy at my bodega: maybe the Series C will do it?
